(Janet) Today our divers came back ecstatic! Dolphins swam and played with them!!One diver said this was definitely a once in a lifetime dive for him, he may never have another dive this good. Another said that this was the first one of it’s kind and he has  gone over 150 dives. They also entertained the boat captain while the divers got back on boat.’

(David)- The shop is buzzing with talk of the last dive. The dolphins really did it this time…..according to reports reaching myself … they were all on the second dive cruising slowly along when Pinky heard them coming, for a while he couldn’t see them, then suddenly one appeared in the middle of the group hovering in a inverted manner. He (Pinky) banged on his tank to get the attention of the other divers and saw another 4 dolphins swiming over to them. They swam amongst the divers for about ten minutes and then went over to a fish trap near by. The divers all waited to see what they were up to.  Suddenly one dolphin looked at them and as if to say “no, lets not show them what we are up to!”. They, the dolphins, then swam off towards the dive boat.

(on the boat) I was there scanning the surface to see if I would spot the school of tuna fish feeding (the divers saw that happening on the first dive and we were within range to see it happen again,)I noticed a lone dolphin about 200 meters west of the dive boat he was heading north towards the group of divers, and a lone fish trap.

 I thought it peculiar that one single dolphin was out there. After a few minutes I saw the rest of them traveling in the same direction. From the surface I saw them frolicking and flipping around on the surface, then suddenly they bolted towards the dive boat, thew swam directly towards the boat splashing and jumping over each other. I whistled and waved hoping to get or keep thier attention until they swam directly under the boat ……… and swam away leavng me somewhat heart broken, I had hoped they would have paused and played close to me…….. anyhow  within minites the divers all surfaced. As I came close to them I shouted “did you guys see anything intereting on this dive? ” they all burst out laughing and shouted back “‘oh no! It was a boring dive…nothing happened.” as I picked them up the comments were;-

 ”This is the best dive ever” ,

“This dive was absolutely incredible I dont think any other dive could be better”

“I cant never have a better dive than that one.”

 ”I have over 100 dives and that has been the absolute best.”

“Nothing can top this dive…”

My heart was filled …I almost had tears in my eyes…sniff ..     If only I could pay all my bills (plus a few more )I would be a happy man.

Oh! I don’t have the contact info for the diver who lost the knife so I need him to get in touch with the shop to retrieve it.

tomorrow we go SHARK hunting.

 peace

Hi folks, this morning we dove the Tug Boat (again) by popular request, it was a bit windy out there but we all managed to do a somewhat simultaneous backroll entry and descend without any drama. They found the wreck quite easily and discovered a really huge Green Moray Eel. “thats the largest ‘D…’ eel Ihave ever seen” commented one very experienced diver….. two others expressed their similar sentiments. Pinky, my great divemaster, found the dive knife that was lost days before by another diver a few days ago. He thouhgt it was lost at the famous Throne Room.We had searched  twice after that and never saw it, and behold! here..at the tug boat in a sand patch near to the wreck.. we werent even looking any more and there it is.

We had some of the good Jamaican sugar cane and other refreshments and chatted while I cruised to the Sands Club Reef where we hooked up to the mooring line and told them on the story of how I met Nancy the 12 ft Nurse shark and how we almost became …….Intimate…….lol …….. I also pointed out where to look for Herman and Hilda the pair of gracious spotted eagle rays.  Afew splashes and 40 minutes later they surfaced with a barage of compliments on the dive. We took the sceenic route back in to avoid the water splashing back in the boat as the wind was still a bit strong, you should have heard some of the tips and stories as every one now very relaxed, chatted away on the easy ride to our base at the Mariners Negril Beach Club.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE DIVES WITH GREAT PEOPLE. DIVERS ARE THE BEST !!!!!!

Ryan our led the dive today. We first dove the Tug Boat then the Throne Room. On the way to the Tug Boat we saw a group of dolphins swimming around a set of fish traps, they showed off for a short time as we drove through them.

 The dive was fantastic! They found the wreck very easily and thoroughly enjoyed the warm clear waters(compared to the Lakes and Quarries that the usually dove in) and fantastic coral.

At the Throne Room they saw a large turtle and towards the end of the dive a 5 ft nurse shark. the first comment on getting on the boat was “that was an absolutely amaising dive”

Naturally I am pleased. You all should come check it out for yourselves…nuh true!!!
